Mine came in the post this morning, and it's got an 'H' on it. &nbsp;

It's only money, you'll get some more next week. &nbsp;I can never get through mine quick enough before getting another lot .

I'll have to go out and polish my kit now.

Just looked it up "NIckel TItanium Naval Ordnance Laboratory" a group of materials.

And another old thread rises to the top of the pile

It may be an old thread but it's good to read all the favourable comments about Halcyon's wonderfull inflator, I wonder if all the poor sods still waiting for their replacements would agree with these reviews though.

With my redwing and converted it to a tekwing, by swapping the shoulders over, also lengthed the shoulder pull dump. The redwing is the same as a tekwing but black and £50 cheaper, takes about 15mins to convert it to a tekwing.

On my OMS i lengthed the shoulder dump again, run my SPG and inflator hose down the side of the corrugated hose in a neoprene cover.

Dive both on SS Combro plates, with my home built harness, based loosely on the OMS harness system.

Do you mean the corrugated hose? If so, why? I just cut about two - three inches off mine.

Or have you added a puilcord to the overpressure valve on the other shoulder?

That'd be the shiney SS inflator that was manufacturer-recalled as it spontaneously leaked then?

Glad I didn't waste my money.

The only mod I've made is a tiny loop of elstic to keep the bottom dump toggle in the same place and a loop of bungee in the pocket to clip toys to.

I meant the other shoulder over pressure jobby, My corrugated hose runs under my arm to chest and is clipped off at my shoulder so i cant use that to dump anyway.
